Wix pricing in 2026: every plan, what it includes and cheaper options
Wix pricing runs from a free plan to paid plans with more storage, more collaborators and different
levels of eCommerce. The main thing to check before paying is the billing term: Wix displays monthly
rates for yearly subscriptions paid in full upfront. For a site with your own domain, start by looking
at Light; for payments and bookings, look at Core.
Heya is made by the team that wrote this guide, so read its row with that in mind. Prices come from each
company's own pages, checked between October 29 and November 9, 2026.
The short answer
-
Your domain and payments Wix suits people who want a customizable site, with Core
adding payment acceptance and scheduling.
-
Visual site editing Squarespace suits people who want drag-and-drop editing and a
trial before choosing a paid plan.
-
Pages and plugins WordPress.com suits people who want unlimited pages and posts on a
free plan, or plugin access on a paid plan.
-
Small site building Heya suits people making a one-page or small site who want to
build without an account and can sign in with Google to publish.

Each option up close
Wix
Free; Light $17, Core $29, Business $39 a month (yearly)
Wix has over 2000 business-ready templates you can customize manually or with AI, and you can start
with a free Wix domain before upgrading. Watch the checkout total: the displayed USD monthly prices
are for yearly subscriptions paid in full at purchase, though Wix offers a 14-day money-back
guarantee.
- Better at
- Big template library and business tools.
- Watch out
- Listed prices are for yearly plans paid up front.
Squarespace
Basic $19, Core $29, Plus $49, Advanced $99 a month
Squarespace lets you start with Blueprint AI or a designer template, then use Fluid Engine
drag-and-drop tools without HTML, CSS or JavaScript. You can design a full site during the 14-day
trial and choose a plan when you're ready to connect a custom domain and publish; paying annually
can save up to 36%.
- Better at
- Polished designer templates.
- Watch out
- You pick a paid plan to connect a custom domain and go live.
WordPress.com
Free; paid from $4 a month billed annually
WordPress.com's free plan includes unlimited pages and posts, 1 GB of storage and basic stats for
the last 7 days. Every paid plan includes access to over 60,000 plugins, starting with Personal, but
the $2.75 per month starting price requires billing every 3 years.
- Better at
- Blogs and sites that grow with plugins.
- Watch out
- The free plan has 1 GB of storage and a wordpress.com subdomain.
Heya
Free; Pro Lite $3, Pro Standard $6, Pro Plus $15 a month
Heya is a no-code builder for one-page and small sites, with 68 templates, a blank-page option and
full building and editing on a phone. You can start without an account, with drafts saved in your
browser, but publishing requires Google sign-in (the only sign-in option). Its custom-domain limits
apply per account, not per site, and it connects domains you already own rather than selling them.
- Better at
- Small sites built and edited on a phone.
- Watch out
- Free sites show a small "Made with Heya" badge.
Carrd
Free; Pro Lite $9, Pro Standard $19, Pro Plus $49 a year
Carrd's paid plans include premium starting point templates, custom user-built templates and removal
of the "Made with Carrd" branding. Pro Lite supports up to 3 sites but doesn't include custom
domains; Pro Standard supports up to 10 sites and connects domains you own with SSL through Let's
Encrypt. Pro Plus also lets you download your site's unminified HTML, CSS, JS and images, excluding
server-side code.
- Better at
- One-page sites and landing pages.
- Watch out
- Pro Lite does not include custom domains.
What each Wix plan gets you
Light is Wix's cheapest paid plan at $17 per month. It includes 2 GB of storage and 2 site
collaborators, along with the Premium options to connect your own domain and remove Wix branding.
Taking payments? Core is the first plan listed here with payment acceptance. At $29 per month, it
includes Basic eCommerce, scheduling and services, 50 GB of storage and 5 site collaborators.
Business costs $39 per month. It moves to Standard eCommerce, keeps payment acceptance and scheduling
and services, and raises storage to 100 GB and collaborators to 10.
Business Elite costs $159 per month. It includes Advanced eCommerce, an advanced developer platform,
unlimited storage and 100 site collaborators.
Those are USD monthly rates for yearly subscriptions, with the full year paid at purchase. Choose
around the features you'll use: Light for your own domain and no Wix branding, Core for payment
acceptance and scheduling, then compare the storage, collaborator and eCommerce levels above that.
What the free plan leaves out
Wix's Free plan costs $0 and doesn't require a credit card. You can start with a free Wix domain and
upgrade to a custom domain later. No need to pay first.
The custom domain and branding changes belong to Premium plans. If you want to connect your own domain
or remove Wix branding, Light is the cheapest paid option at $17 per month, displayed on the yearly
subscription basis.
Payment acceptance, Basic eCommerce, and scheduling and services are included in Core. If those are
what you're choosing Wix for, compare Core rather than treating Light as your checkout choice.
And the domain offer has conditions. Most Premium plans include a 1 year free domain voucher for
buying a new domain from Wix. It isn't a voucher for a domain bought elsewhere, and the free period is
one year.
Cheaper options for a small site
Squarespace Basic costs $19 per month, compared with Wix Light at $17 per month. It isn't the cheaper
starting paid option at those listed rates, but you can try its editor before paying.
WordPress.com has a lower paid starting price: Personal starts at $2.75 per month when billed every 3
years. Prefer an annual commitment? Paid plans start at $4 per month, with a free custom domain for
the first year.
Heya Free supports up to 3 sites with up to 5 pages each and a small badge. Pro Lite, at $3 a month,
removes the badge and allows up to 20 pages per site; Pro Standard, at $6 a month, supports up to 5
sites and 1 custom domain per account. Buttons can send visitors to external forms, booking pages or
shops.
Carrd Pro Lite costs $9 / year. For a domain you own, compare Pro Standard at $19 / year instead.
